BBC America - Anglophenia has Great Scott! It’s A TARDIS! Welcome to a new, occasional thread here on Anglophenia, in which we point out where you can find an actual blue Police box, of the sort that they based the original TARDIS on, in an everyday situation. I have no idea how many of them there are, but let’s use this opportunity to pool our resources, and maybe create a kind of map, so Whovians know where to go if they want to see one in real life....

Blogtor Who - The Special Weapons Dalek returns!The latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine reveals that the Special Weapons Dalek, first seen in Remembrance of the Daleks (1988), will be making an appearance in Episode 1 of Doctor Who Series 7.

Hoo on Who has Episode 53 (Enhanced) - The Talons of Weng Chiang. David and Marty review the 4th Doctor and Leela story The Talons of Weng Chiang and discuss the extensive set of extras on the 3 DVD Special Edition set.

A Mad Man with a Box has Alison Haislip/Silence in the Library & Forest of the Dead. I’m very excited about episode lucky number 13 as Alison Haislip(!) joins me to chat about the Series 3 River Song 2-parter Silence in the Library and The Forest of the Dead! I’ve been a fan of Alison’s for a long time now. She has been one of my dream guests to have on the show and was an absolute delight to talk to. Alison and I bow before the genius that is Moffat as we delve into the complex web he has woven in bringing River Song to our screens. I love Alison’s enthusiasm for the show and can’t help but wonder where were all the girls like her when I was growing up in New Jersey. Enjoy!

Review's Roundup...

Drunken Time Travel has A Religous Experience (Comic). The TARDIS has arrived on Seetar and the Doctor and Ian go for a walk on the beach. Ian finds the view incredible but the Doctor tells him Quinnis with it's purple sea is much better, he's such a hipster. They find tracks in the sand before the indigenous people turn up led by what looks like a High Priest...

TARDIS Eruditorum has You Were Expecting Someone Else 10 (FASA). The 1984 Doctor Who roleplaying game published by FASA is, as roleplaying games go, not hugely exciting or interesting. As Doctor Who merchandise it’s slightly more exciting - and inadvertently hilarious at times, such as when it provides a character sheet for Peri that reveals her to be wildly less competent than a newly created player character would be. (So far as I can tell from a perusal of the rules she’s spent exactly eight attribute points and three skill points....

Chair With A Panda On It has Doctor Who: Forty-Five. "Being interested in Egyptian history and mythology, this story’s setting did appeal to me and in truth it was a large part of the reason for me purchasing this particular release. In particular, I was intrigued with the casting of Sherlock‘s Benedict Cumberbatch in the role of Carter and curious to see what he would do with the part...."

independent.co.uk has Review of Doctor Who ‘The Tomb of the Cybermen’ (Series 5). At this point in the series Ben Jackson (Michael Craze) and Polly (Anneke Wills) are no longer on board the TARDIS. They made their departure in ‘The Faceless Ones’ when they discovered that they had returned to earth in 1966, on the day they first left. However, Jamie McCrimmon (Frazer Hines) is still travelling with the Doctor. They are joined by Victoria Waterfield (Deborah Watling) whom they met in the previous serial ‘The Evil of the Daleks’. This is her first adventure with the Doctor therefore she can be forgiven for her incessant screaming...

The Daily P.O.P. has Doctor Who – The Three Companions. The planet Earth appears to be dying in a massive global disaster. In the midst of the turmoil, a former companion of the Doctor’s named Polly finds an intriguing article by Jo Jones. It contains several interest elements and information regarding someone named the Brigadier....

Editors Note...

A polite request to my fellow bloggers, please note that Whoogle is not an automated service but constantly manually updated thoughout the day (and night) and takes a lot of hard work by myself, although most items here can be found eventually on the net, the fact that you're reading this means you are using me as a source.... so please either add 'via Whoogle' or a 'thanks for the heads up' to your posts, it gets very frustrating watching other blogs updating obviously using Whoogle as a reference point and not even having the courtesy of saying where they found it, many thanks for your cooperation.
